Extremely RARE 17th Century OXFORD EDITION England Gazette 1665 Old Newspaper (Note: additional images are located below the description) Offered is an original, historic, & collectible old newspaper: THE OXFORD GAZETTE, Oxford, England, Dec. 28, 1665 * Earliest & Rarest of newspapers to be had This is an extremely famous--and rare--title, being the predecessor of the famous "London Gazette", the oldest continually published English language newspaper in the world. Because of the Plague at this time, the Royal Court had removed itself from London to Oxford when this newspaper began, so issues #1 thru #23 were published in Oxford (actually published simultaneously in London & Oxford), and when the contagion had subsided & the Court returned to London this newspaper went with it and renamed itself "The London Gazette" with issue #24, and the rest is history. The London Gazette still publishes to this day. This is issue number 13. Of particular significance is that this is an actual Oxford printing, as virtually all issues of this title were the London edition (but printed on the same day (see Handover's "A History of The London Gazette 1665-1965"). As would be expected, with most libraries & institutions being in London, holdings coming to surface today would be the London edition. This Oxford edition--note that the imprint at the bottom of the back page simply says: "Oxford, Printed by Leonard Litchfield, Printer to the University, 1665" rather than the lengthier imprint found on the other issues--is one of only two or three I have seen in over 40 years in the hobby.

Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain. Roger Rea. 1662-1665, English edition. Copper engraving. Later colour. Size: 50 x 38 cm. (19½ x 15 inches) Good condition. Cut close at left and right hand sides, but enough added margin for mounting and framing. Top margin strengthened. A closed tear (3 inches), runs from the bottom up to the shield of Thomas of Wodstoke on the right. This has an old repair, and is scarcely noticeable. A beautiful map of Buckinghamshire from Speed's Theatre. Inset plans of the market towns of Buckingham and Redding, the latter being a strange choice given that it lies in the county of Berkshire - an indication that the other market towns in Buckinghamshire were not large or prosperous. Embellished with cartouches, cherubs and coats of arms belonging to the titled families of the county. Decorated scale at bottom with dividers above, and compass rose to the right.

First edition of this rare and appealing book. Müller is described on the title as a professor at the Giessen Academy. In this work, he describes the physical, astronomical, and astrological aspects of the two comets of 1664 and 1665; their appearance "prompted treatises from many important astronomers and their widely varying conclusions and theories underscored contemporary confusion concerning the nature of comets."-Yeoman, Comets, p. 70. The primitive but attractive vignette depicts a man with a telescope observing the sky. The three engraved plates depicts the Ptolemaic, Copernican, and Tychonic systems. Fine copy. ?

[?Florence, 1665. [?Florence,, 1665. [with] Diferae di Minuti in 100 Anni per causa della Stella Polar. ?c.1665]. Two engraved paper dials with volvelles, both with moveable parts. An engraved instrument for the hours and minutes of the ebb and flow of the tides, and an instrument for measuring axial precession for the years 1600-1700.
Antonio Francesco Lucini (1610-after 1661) was responsible for the engraving of the greatest marine atlas of the seventeenth century: Robert Dudley's 'Dell'Arcano del Mare' (see item 17).
Lucini was born in Florence c. 1610. he was a pupil of Callot and a friend of Stefano della Bella. Before being employed by Sir Robert Dudley, he had already published engraved views of Florence and scenes of the Turkish Wars. Lucini put the stamp of his personality on the finished work, as did the author; the delicacy and strength of the engraving, as well as the embellishments of the lettering "alla cancellaresca", make it a true example of Italian Baroque art. In a printed introductory leaf found in one copy of the 'Arcano Del Mare' in the British Library, Lucini states that he worked on the plates in seclusion for 12 years in an obscure Tuscan village, using no less than 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg) of copper. According to the engraver, the book took 40 years to prepare and 12 to execute.
Following Dudley's death in 1649, a subsequent edition was published in 1661 by Lucini and Jacopo Bagnoni. The evident success of the second edition led to Lucini's decision to publish the work in a more manageable format, and he began on the great task of engraving new
